Technology Stack

The web application is built as a rich internet application (RIA) that interacts with a RESTful web service (API).

The RIA is constructed as a single HTML page which is rendered by an embedded javascript application and is styled via CSS stylesheets. The RIA leverages the following 3rd party plugins:

• lodash - a functional programming utility library
• jquery - a cross browser general purpose utility library
• backbone - a Model View Controller (MVC) framework
• bootstrap - a front-end development framework for building responsive modern websites

The API is constructed as a python based web server application. As well as the standard HTTP communication protocol it also supports the Web Sockets (WS) communication protocol thereby supporting the construction of real-time web applications that push notifications to connected clients over web socket channels. The API leverages the following:

• python - the general purpose programming language
• tornado - a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library
• PostgreSQL - the world's most advanced open source database
• RabbitMQ - messaging that just works
